My Little Beauty, Bathing

Tubside, as sweet Sarah soaked, recuperating from her horrific bout of tummy-trociousness...

Mommy: "Honey, I'm so glad you are feeling better; it's so nice to see you smiling again. You know, you are such a beautiful* little girl." (*Okay, I know complimenting physical appearance isn't always the 'right' thing to do. I had a moment of Mommy weakness. Forgive me.)

This is great...and as Barbara said, she's definitely wise beyond her years.

When our girls were first born, my hubby had a really hard time with hearing me tell them they're beautiful. I do think it's a real balance...I tend to say, "You're sweet, smart, and beautiful." I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable explaining my rationale to them, but I more or less think that's in order of importance. :)
